So, does anybody rotate their trailer tires?

Don't recall seeing this subject.

I have not yet. Bought new tires from Discount Tires last year, and they stated they would rotate them for me for free, so I have strongly considered doing it, as I scrub my tires big time backing into my place.

I have never rotated my tires. My brother in law who has had serious tire problems over the years said he was told by a tire guy that he should have his trailer tires aligned every one to two years. Haven't done that either, but I'm curious if it's advisable.

No, rotation as I understand is to maximize the life of a set of tires so they wear evenly. My tires age out way before the wear out, so I don't see the benefit to rotation.

I cover my tires when ever they aren't in use, keep the air topped off and replace them 5 years from the date stamp on the tire.

Can't say I ever have. Never really thought about it to be honest.

I do on the truck, but haven't thought about the TT. They've seem to wear pretty evenly so far.

Never rotated a trailer tire. They age out before they wear out every time.

X2! (or was it four?)

The number of miles I put on the TT is so low that they bearly show any wear by the time they are 5 years old and require replacement.

Rotate, no. Balance, yes.

I never have. I don't think it is needed as there isn't a drive axle and a steering axle on a trailer. I do believe if you're having uneven wear issues and alignment could be the solution.

Yes, at least on past trailers. Uneven wear.

Yes, I do wear out my tires on trailers. We travel a lot.

If you do not have uneven wear, then don't rotate. And, like above, some never wear out a set of tires.
